£35 in Aldi
£35 in Tesco (Christmas present prosecco)
£7 in boots on nail varnish (but I got £20 of points. I used mostly high street vouchers to spend £50 and then had several vouchers and the extra £10 of points today)
£7 in John Lewis topping up a voucher. Bought some new basic pants and a lush joules scarf.

Tomorrow we are going pumpkin hunting and that will be £6.50.

www.joules.com/Women/Accessories/Berkley/Classic-Scarf/Laurel-Check?id=T_BERKLEY|LRLCHCK Annoyingly they have 25% off but I had to use a John Lewis voucher so it was full price. So doesn't make too much difference.

Oh lovely!!!

Collie Yes I thought that too about the £700k and not checking too carefully. The odd thing is that there are houses a hundred yards away that do have offstreet parking and they could have easily bought one of those for the same price. I'm really not sure how they made that mistake.

I got a bit of good news yesterday. My GP tested all my vitamin levels, and iron and they all came out good. I'm quite pleased about that as I've been doing my own dietician work, calculating what I need to eat to get all my nutrients right, for the last two years. I feel quite pleased about having apparently go that about right. Smile

Nice one Genie well done! And you've reminded me, I have a blood test form from a couple of months ago that I totally forgot to actually use, must go and do that.
